The Golden Braid by Melanie Dickerson
3.0

My actual number is probably a 3.5. I liked it a lot better than The Healer's Apprentice since it had more action and a better plot. The character of Rapunzel was well crafted and sympathetic. It didn't seem as preachy as Healer's Apprentice either. The religious elements seemed more subtle to me and didn't bother me as much, mostly because they didn't bog down the story.

I prefer more bantering in my love stories though.

I would probably read another book of this series, but I wouldn't drop everything to do so (if that makes sense).

Overall enjoyable. I do like fairy tale retellings...
